The innate snowman bloodlust

Frosty the snowman Was alive as he could be And the children say he could stab and flay Just the same as you and me

Frosty the snowman, gave new meaning to set slay.

He'd kill kids and pets leaving nothing left.

Laughing all the way.

Calvin warned us about this.

Was this a deleted scene from a Rick and Morty episode?

Thanks for the link to the creator's social media account, but that image is jpeged to hell.

Here's a much better copy

Much better

has like 5% less compression which is barely visible in direct comparison

Original is 1.47mb. OP's is 0.47mb. That's about 3x smaller and it's a significant difference in clarity.

It's fine if that doesn't matter to you, but don't spew shitty info just because you don't care about the difference.

OP's pic was fine, the quality was good enough for what it is, and it only used 1/3 of the space and bandwidth on the server.

"Won't anyone think of the bandwidth of the poor server?"

Screw that, give us the high quality stuff. Shit would almost fit onto a floppy disk. 1.47mb is nothing.

Quality snob* here

Totally fine

*not really, just reverse image search JPG’d images and post originals when I notice something’s ugly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Disagree. One is kinda blurry and the other is crisp and clear. The difference is night and day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thats probably your app previewing the image in the post that way. If you open up the file its almost the same.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Downloaded both on desktop, still a pretty significant difference?

I feel like the snowman has created his own purpose out of desire with that last speech bubble. He wants to eradicate the forest creatures.
